If I cook a poptart...

If it wasnt held at 140 degrees or higher for those 3 hours, then there may be some e coli or botchulism or maybe even some salmonella if you are lucky, wait never mind
 
little known fact: refrigerated poptarts are pretty awesome.

it's rare for me to have a poptart at all, but when I do get the craving and buy a box, it's usually brown sugar or cherry.

brown sugar is how I roll too... so you're saying to put them in the fridge and then heat then?!>! I'll try that.
 
I keep giggling at the notion of "cooking" a poptart. You throw it in a fucking toaster ffs.
 
If a Pop Tart is not eaten within 20min of heating, it begins to emit formaldehyde.
You should throw it away immediately and call the EPA.
 
This makes me want to try baked, seared and possibly fried pop tarts. :colbert:

Fried Pop Tarts:

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk

3 2/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
to taste vegetable oil , for frying
Box of poptarts(whatever is clever)

Directions

Beat eggs and sugar together and then add the milk slowly--beat. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth and creamy.

Cut the edges off the poptarts, and cut pop tarts into six pieces. Dip in batter, fry at 350 for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
 
If you do that it's called a "retart".
If you are what you eat you are now a retart. :biggrin:
 
Each time you toast it, it loses some moisture.

Retoast it too many times and you end up with a desiccated pop tart flavored wafer board.

Once it's been toasted once, you're probably better off reheating it in the microwave, using a wax paper baggie to minimize dry-out.

I use the microwave the first time anyway.
 
If it dries out, just get it hot enough to slather some butter on the bottom to loosen it up a little bit.
